Maple - Woodland Cottages, Cumbria | Cottage With a Hot Tub

About Maple - Woodland Cottages

This outstanding Lakeland cottage is set amongst beautiful woodlands on a high promontory on the edge of Bowness-on-Windermere. As you enter this hidden glade, the many delights of this Lakeland retreat will unfold, with mature trees, fir, bracken and glimpses of the local wildlife on display.

A great location in the very heart of the Lake District National Park to enjoy a break with family and friends, simply relax in the hot tub and take in the beautiful surroundings. This well-equipped and welcoming cottage offers a well thought out layout, featuring a spacious sitting room with picture windows to take advantage of the far-reaching views, a large screen TV and for those cold wintry nights a cosy woodburning stove.

A modern, well-equipped kitchen with open plan dining area and an adjoining utility area provide all you need to enjoy a wonderful meal with family and friends. The ground floor also contains a bedroom with a king-size luxurious bed and a modern en-suite bathroom, a hallway and useful cloakroom.

Upstairs the cottage boasts a further four bedrooms, two with en-suites and a superb family bathroom with an inviting shower and bath for relaxing in. From the ground floor living areas there is access to the fabulous decked area housing a luxurious hot tub, an ideal location to watch the sun dip below the trees and enjoy a well-deserved tipple.

Less than a mile away is the wonderful idiosyncratic and charming Windermere Golf Club, a most welcoming club. A short walk takes guests down to the lake ferry where a short 'cruise' gives access to the far shores of Hawkshead, famous Coniston with the magnificent peaks of Wetherlam and the Old Man of Coniston to name but a few, as well as the magical Tarn Hows area.

Maple - Woodland Cottages Reviews

Samuel

The property is designed well. It needed a really good clean. There were giant dead bluebottles all over some of the windowsills and the carpet in a couple of the rooms and an old eyeliner in one of the others. That said, the site manager is just the loveliest chap who was so helpful, sorted out some very noisy ppl in the neighbouring cottage very quickly and was always on hand for anything. He is so responsive and very helpful a total asset. There are no hand towels in the bathrooms so take your own. Local sheep and ducks wander onto the land and enjoy free rein so look out for that. The hot tub was lovely and maintained daily which is nice. Despite the fences separating the cottage gardens they are overlooked by neighbouring cottages. So if the next cottage is using their fire the fumes blow over whilst youre in the hot tub, we had some kids constantly gesturing from the windows etc but best ignored. The site is well kept the cottages are terraced so bear that in mind you will be sharing the site with a number of others. There were some lovely local treats left which was very nice. The lake is further away than the description suggests, a good mile or so. The scenery is magnificent and its a beautiful part of the world. We frequent cottages in and around the U.K. and enjoy seeing the landscape. Recommend the boat trip to Ambleside and the ride up on the milk float into the town there. There are also some lovely local shops in bowness and we had a lovely drink in one of the very local pubs on Xmas day. Theres also a cafe on Windermere thats right next to the lake and do wonderful dipped ice cream cones. Enjoy your stay

I want to thank the oaks team for going above and beyond for us over our stay by being so friendly, accomodating and so happy to help. We were so impressed with everything, it was all so perfect for us. We loved every minute of it, we couldnt have dreamed for a better house and a better service. It was everything we wanted for our friends holiday and more. We hope you enjoyed having us as guests, we sure would return any day and definitely recommend The Oaks. We wish you much success with your estate in the future. Adele and friends.

Leslie

Enjoyed a four night midweek stay as a group of 6 adults. Appreciated the dedicated parking and the ability to drop off aged with mobility issues next to the property entrance. As per other reviews, there were minor blemishes etc in the property, but it is a rental, and did not detract from our stay. Good selection of kitchen items, and we managed well, appreciated the welcome pack of coffee, gingerbread and jam. Didnt need to use the wood burner, it was July, but appreciated the very effective central heating for later rainy evenings when it got cooler. The hot tub was lovely, especially when the sun shone, with lovely views across manicured lawns to wooded areas. Very enjoyable stay for us, we would stay here again.

Jasmin

Absolutely loved our stay, the beds were so comfortable and lodge was lovely and clean and provided everything we needed. Will definitely be coming back to stay here.

Kichen essentials should be provided, eg tin foil, black bin bags, cling film, more than one tea towel, extra toilet rolls too.

This was the perfect place to stay for my friends hen party as a space to relax and a great base for all of the activities we had planned for the weekend.

Joanne

Really enjoyable stay. Cottage was spacious and plenty big enough for 10 people. Well equipped with everything we needed. We needed the maintenance mans help with a small problem we had, he was very polite and helpful sorted the issue quickly. Great location close enough to amenities, 20 mins walk. Lovely view from our cottage. Hope to return one day.

We had a wonderful stay property was very clean, comfortable and well equipped x beautiful setting Highly recommend the cottages to my family and friends Thank you .

Maple cottage was accurately described, but not suitable for me and my party. My group consisted of five adults and four young children, there was nothing on site for the children, walking into Bowness was not an option due to very narrow roads with no footpath for about 23rds34 of the journey. So going for a walk meant having to travel by car first in order to do so. I holiday in the Lakes at least once a year and will continue to do so but not at this location. We found the cottage warm comfortable and well equipped,although a fire guard for around the wood burner would have been useful. It was the location and lack of on site facilities rather than the cottage that created issues.

Location of the property is good and lots of interesting places to visit locally. The Holiday house was nice, comfortable and adequate. generally clean but the corners in the lounge had definitely not been cleaned. Everything else was good.

Andrew

This is the second time we have stayed at Maple. Since our first stay there has been noticeable differences. Maintenance wise there was various patches around the property that required attention, most notably adjacent the door architrave upstairs where plaster has been falling off. Cleanliness, the entire house was suffering with cobwebs and spiders in every corner, clear negligence in cleaning. The hot tub had a ring of scum along the sealed top when the lid had been taken off, and the water didnt look fresh on our first night. Dining table was not clean and required a further clean before use. The ceiling in the living room was blackened by soot. Bathrooms, handles were flaking and loosing there chrome coating, alongside paintwork peeing and flaking. All this was insult to injury when we had to do 80 of the housekeepers work by stripping the beds into bags and bringing them to door for them. The central heating system was also temperamental with it turning itself on during the night. In all it is unlikely to stay again due to the disappointing upkeep of the property, who knows what it will be like in a further 1224 months.

Doreen

Only down side was we felt en suites were a bit small & wash basins are so small you could barely wash hands. This caused water to splash over the sinks onnto floor. Apart from that all fine.

Ronald James

Absolutely fantastic cottage. Perfect location and setting, worked brilliantly for our family group of 10. Very well equipped for all of us. Will definitely be booking again for next year.

Rachel

We had a fantastic holiday with our grown up children and partners. The cottage was beautiful and very spacious, the photos don't do it justice. We spent many happy hours in the hot tub. We walked down the hill to the marina for drinks in the bar which was about a 15 minute walk. Later on after a night out in Bowness, it was a quick taxi ride back to the cottage. We will definitely return, we loved it.

Kathryn

Excellent property with everything you need inside for the perfect family holiday. Staff onsite are pleasant and helpful. The hot tub was a hit with our grandson who enjoyed seeing the ducks and sheep walk by every day. Highly recommend for family gatherings.

Amazing, came with family for my dads 60th birthday. Couldnt of wished for more. The kids loved the hot tub and the log fire was amazing. Very clean and spacious. Will 100 return and be recommending. Thank you. Zoe.

Angela

The standard of facilities was expected but basic and clearly been used many times. The hot tub was the real bonus for us and possibly the one reason I would recommend The Oaks.

Everything was just exactly what we wanted. Would definitely recommend and would definitely stay again!

Corinne

Very good position although a little far to walk to Bowness or lake but it did not detract from the holiday. Useful to know we could visit the hotel for a drink or afternoon tea if we wanted which is walkable.

It was a lovely peaceful location away from the bustle of bowness and it was so ... It was a lovely peaceful location away from the bustle of bowness and it was so pretty it was a bit of a walk up the hill back but at least it kept us fit There was plenty of open space for the children and they absolutely loved the hot tub

Really spacious cottage in generous quiet area and grounds. Idea outside space with hot tub and grassy area for the Children to play out safely.

Rosalind

The house was perfect for our family holiday. It was spacious, the hot tub was very popular, the grounds were lovely and it is situated in a perfect location for children's activities.

We had an excellent stay at Maple Cottage our only drawback were the neighbours. The cottages are in wonderful surroundings, very peaceful and would be happy to return. Our only drawback were the neighbours.

Angela

We had a fantastic holiday, gorgeous house, lovely grounds. My only niggle is that there was no recycling bins or glass bottle bins

Richard

We have had a great family break at this comfortable cottage in a great location. Our only real problem was the fact that there was only one small freezer to accommodate 10 people. We had ordered a food delivery online to arrive on our first day of stay and struggled to find enough space for freezing. Having said that, we managed to cope. We would recommend this cottage for large groups of people.

Vanessa

From the moment of arrival to departure everything ran like clockwork. The kids loved the hot tub every night to wind down after exploring the beautiful villages we visited everyday. The facilities exceeded our expectations and the cleanliness was faultless. We will definitely use Sykes again as you seem to know exactly what you are doing to help people choose exactly what they want to suit all tastes and budgets.Thank you so much

Kathryn

10 of us had a fabulous time in this lovely lodge. It was modern, clean and very well stocked with all the facilities and equipment needed. The location was perfect with beautiful scenery and a lovely walk to Bowness. On arrival we were greeted with local home made scones and brownies, such a lovely touch that we weren't expecting! We would definitely recommend and stay here again!

The house was very clean and spacious, hot tub and log burner were the real highlights. We had 5 adults and 3 children 1014 and there was plenty of space for everyone. Beds were comfy and bathrooms plentiful.

Lovely cottage great location. However we had problems with the cooker and the dishwasher the cooker took hours to heat up and forever to cook anything!! and the dishwasher didnt work we had to wash everything by hand.

Good accommodation, Good location, Helpful staff, Great holiday.

Andrew

The holiday was fantastic, the location was brilliant, the cottage was perfect and the staff were lovely. We all had a thoroughly enjoyable weekend and are looking at booking again for next year!

Fantastic cottage,catered for all our needs 10 of us and larger than it looks! beautiful location, could not fault it, will almost certainly return, had a new year to remember!

Lovely stay! Excellent facilities and loved the hot tub!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, so relaxing and peaceful with the added bonus of spectacular views whilst using the hot tub. The property was spotlessly clean and well equipped. Just one tiny complaint which was a lack of cooking utensils ie spatula, serving spoons, large chopping board, when cooking for 10 people, otherwise 10 out of 10.

Stella

Fantastic holiday in the lakes. perfect cottage and perfect location. hope to come back

Nicola

The lodge was fantastic and mainly very well equipped to a high standard. Bedrooms bathroom excellent. We really struggled with the cooking facilities to accommodate 8 people, definitely would have benefitted from more than one oven. The equipment however again fantastic, everything we needed. The hottub was really lovely but as it was raining would have been fantastic with a canap. All in all we were very happy with everything, just a couple of minor things that would have been of benefit to my group.

Lovely property to share lovely times with friends and family

Amelia

The cottage was lovely and in a good location within walking distance of Lake Windermere. The cottage had all the things you need for a self catering holiday and little extras such as a starter kit for the log burner and washing up pack, tea, coffee, Kendal Mint cake and fudge. We really enjoyed the use of the hot tub both in the morning and in the evening to relax with a glass of bubbly. If you dont want to walk back up the hill to the cottage from the village taxis are really reasonably priced ranging from 3.506.00 depending on how many passengers. We did the Brant Fell walk which was on a map in the cottage, it has lovely views and is OK for small children to do to. All in all this was a perfect family holiday and We would definitely book again!!!

Wow!! What a beautiful cottage . The house was equipped with everything we could need and was decorated beautifully. The views were amazing and the location to the town was perfect. We had a great time spend it with friends and would definitely recommend to others as well as booking again for ourselves. Thank you so very much
